"Master Fu, the county seat of Xinye County was captured overnight!"
"Fu Jun, after the rebels captured Xinye County, they directly called themselves Bo Zhizhi and called themselves Xia Bo. They claimed that they wanted to punish the people, overthrow the imperial court, and establish a just and equal Daxia. They also sent messages to all directions, asking us to hurry up.
Surrender, otherwise don’t say you didn’t predict what you said, it’s really very arrogant!”
"Master Fu, Xinye County is not just one county, but three counties. Three counties have already lost contact with us!"
"Master Fu, the thirty-seven counties under Nanyang County have all lost contact with us overnight. If someone hadn't desperately spread the news, we wouldn't even know about it. This is the most terrifying thing. That bear
The penetration of rock into thirty-seven counties has already reached an extent that we can hardly imagine."
"For the sake of your safety, you should be careful. I don't know how many people in our prefect's mansion are secretly rebels against Xiong Yan!"
"Master Fu, please go to the military camp quickly. This prefect's mansion is already a dangerous place."
"No, Mr. Fu, at this critical moment, Mr. Fu must not leave the Prefect's Mansion. All the powerful families in the city are watching. If Mr. Fu directly leaves the Prefect's Mansion and goes to the military camp, then should other powerful families take the opportunity to escape?
Will you take the opportunity to leave Nanyang?"
"Xiong Yan is already powerful. He has already captured the villages and towns in the thirty-seven counties. Now if we don't get help from powerful families quickly, I'm afraid it will be difficult for Wancheng to defend it!"
Wancheng is the seat of Nanyang County, which is also equivalent to the county town. In this county town alone, there are 500,000 people. The captain outside the city controls 8,000 county soldiers, including
There are three thousand cavalry.
As for the private soldiers of the aristocratic families in the city, there are at least several thousand in number. If both sides are put together, and then recruit strong men, there will be twenty or thirty thousand men.
"Bold, you want to murder the prince! That Xiong Yan is a local tycoon in Xinye. The fine iron produced under his rule is the best in the world. In the past, he cooperated with the Nanyang family to make Nanyang Iron
Sold all over the country.”
"The Nanyang treasure armor under his command is far superior to most armors. Even if it costs hundreds of thousands per piece, it has sold tens of thousands of pieces in the past two years. More than half of the profits are shared with the Nanyang family.
Who dares to say that the aristocratic families and the princes in the city are of the same mind at this moment!"
"Master Fu, these aristocratic families usually have billions of dollars in friendship with Xiong Yan. Do you think, to them, loyalty, conscience, and morality are worth billions of dollars? What if Xiong Yan directly told someone
Some aristocratic families said that those who presented the city directly gave away the smelting method of Nanyang Baojia. How long did the emperor think that Wancheng at that time could last?"
After hearing this, the prefect who originally wanted to stay in Wancheng, summon powerful private soldiers from aristocratic families, and then recruit ordinary people to defend the city, and finally wait for reinforcements from the imperial court, was shaken again.
As the governor of Nanyang County, he is quite familiar with the moral integrity of those aristocratic families. For the sake of the smelting method of Nanyang Baojia, they can really do bad things such as stealing the city gates and letting thieves into the city.
As for whether this matter will be exposed?
Of course not!
These are all secrets that have been laid in ambush by thieves and bandits a long time ago. What does they have to do with my so-and-so family?
Anyway, when Xiong Yan's army entered Wancheng, many places where files were stored, as well as granaries and places where weapons and armor were stored, would be inexplicably on fire. It was the fire dragon burning the warehouse!
"Master Fu, Nanyang is the number one county in the world. It is the center of iron smelting. There are no less than tens of thousands of craftsmen of all kinds. These simple craftsmen are the first-class source of soldiers."
"We have eight thousand county soldiers, tens of thousands of powerful private soldiers of aristocratic families, tens of thousands of armored collars, long hair, hundreds of thousands of swords, tens of thousands of large yellow crossbows, tens of thousands of war horses, fifty thousand strong men inside and outside the city, and two slaves
There is more than enough."
"With the reserves in Nanyang's treasury, it is easy to arm an army of 100,000 people. With the abundance of force near Nanyang, it is also easy to arm an army of 35,000 and 50,000 people. It can be said to be a matter of effort."
"The Lord just needs to act quickly. When the time comes, he will have an army of 50,000 in his hands. Are we still afraid that the powerful family will steal the city gate?"
"To put it bluntly, it is safe for the emperor to go to the military camp outside the city now, but how will he face the court to hold him accountable afterwards?"
"The prince is not from a top family such as the Yang family or the Yuan family. He is just from a poor family. He has worked hard for decades to get to where he is today. Is he going to be questioned by the court or even beheaded for this?"
"If Fujun stays in the city, opens the treasury, organizes the troops and horses, and trains new troops, even if a powerful family steals the city gate, Fujun can leave calmly with thousands of cavalry."
"With these thousands of cavalry at hand, the imperial court will not be too harsh on Fu Jun. After all, Fu Jun is still needed to put down the Xiongyan Rebellion!"
After hearing this, the prefect changed his mind again.
What you said makes sense. It seems that I should stay in the city and actively rectify the troops.
"Master Fu, no matter what, please make a decision quickly."
"Let me think about it!"
Just as the prefect was thinking and deliberation, a military lord suddenly came to the prefect's residence covered in blood.
He brought bad news: the rebels have entered the city!
"How could it be so? How could it be so fast?" the prefect couldn't help but ask.
But at this moment, no one could answer his question.
Wancheng is also at the county level, and Nanyang County is the first county in the world, so Wancheng's city defense construction is quite complete.
The hand-dug moat is five feet wide, and the city gates and other key points are made of the French bricks invented by Lu Zhou, a local tycoon from Youfu Feng last year.
These magic bricks are typical small products that combine the extraordinary with reality. There are some very basic runes on each magic brick.
The shelf life of these runes is limited, often only about three years, but they can resist the impact of the power of Qi and blood to a certain extent.
Although it is very expensive, although this kind of French bricks are sold in pieces and each piece costs a hundred yuan, Nanyang County bought it for 10 million yuan with a lot of money.
Ten million French bricks are enough to protect the key positions of the city wall tightly.
It stands to reason that even if Lu Bu led the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry and mobilized the energy and blood in the Wolf Cavalry to launch an attack, he would not be able to break through Wancheng like this.
This is the power of Tao (money)!
But at this moment, the military prince told the prefect that the thieves had entered the city. How could this be possible?
Fake news!
It must be fake news!
On the other side, Wu Bei had already rushed in. He had known for a long time that this battle would not be too difficult, but he never expected that it would go so smoothly.
However, although he was very happy, he still issued orders quickly, mobilized troops and horses in an orderly manner, and blocked key locations such as the arsenal, grain depot, and prefect's mansion in the city.
"It went so smoothly! We actually rushed in without even closing the city gate. Can you believe it?" Wu Bei looked at Lu Yu with a look of disbelief.
But Lu Yu was not surprised at all: "This prefect is not a decisive person, and many of his staff are our people. They will find ways to delay the situation at critical moments. Such a situation is not difficult to predict.
.”
"You have been in the Three Kingdoms world for a long time, can you speak human language?"
Lu Yu looked at the sky: "The City Gate Sima is one of ours, so even if he makes a decisive decision, the city gate will still open at the critical moment."
"Furthermore, Fazhuan is the product of Youfufeng. Youfufeng has been completely eroded by us long ago. The towns and villages there are just like Nanyang. The local people have been scattered into characteristic towns. The clans of the old era have been directly reorganized from their roots.
Got wiped out."
The clans of the old era had very obvious advantages and disadvantages.
The order of the old era was limited. It was difficult for a single person to survive. He had to rely on his clan to ensure that he would not be eaten up by outsiders or petty officials.
Therefore, in a positive sense, clans in the old era were necessary to protect ordinary people.
If you don’t have a clan, then you’re just waiting to be exploited to death by everyone!
However, this does not mean that the clans of the old era did not have shortcomings. On the contrary, the shortcomings are also very obvious.
The clan itself is also an organization. Since it is an organization, exploitation is inevitable. Even if the clan leader himself does not want to overly exploit the clan members, what about the other members of the organization?
The people's life is already difficult, but now, in addition to being squeezed by the government, powerful people, and petty officials, they have to suffer additional exploitation from the clan.
Originally, the existence of the clan was to protect the people. As a result, while protecting the people, the clan also began to transform into an evil dragon and began to exploit and squeeze the people.
After understanding this meaning, if you re-read the history books, you will find that being exterminated is actually very common and common among clans, and it is bound to happen!
It is precisely because of poverty that people in the past paid much more attention to boys than modern people imagine.
There are no boys in your family. After you die, you will be eaten up and wiped clean. By then, everything about you will belong to others, and you will not be able to resist.
Not to mention that ordinary people can't resist being exterminated, even a top scholar like Qian Qianyi was exterminated after his death. Even if his wife Liu Rushi resisted desperately, it was only a shock for a while, and Liu Rushi could only commit suicide in the end.
As soon as her front leg died, Qian Qianyi's family property behind her was eaten up by the clan!
This is called eating out of control!
But now in the countryside of Nanyang, Youfufeng and other places, the clans of the old era have disappeared.
After being split up, those who still wanted to rely on the prestige between clans in the past to squeeze the people were now either hanged from the branches of big trees or began to undergo labor reform.
"So, Youfufeng has been controlled to the extreme by us for a long time. Only the county seat and the county seat have not been taken directly. But now, the time is estimated to be almost there."
"And Youfufeng has a business, which is door-to-door installation. When the number of bricks purchased by target customers reaches a certain limit, they will take the initiative to come to the door for installation."
If you accidentally leave a backup plan or something, you're just going along with the flow.
"In other words, no matter what the prefect chooses, Wancheng will be captured quickly?"
"Yes."
"It's you who are the black ones!" With that said, Wu Bei turned around and left to start working.
Lu Yu: What the hell are you...
…
Outside Luoyang City, one message after another is constantly being delivered here.
Although Xiong Yan was located in Nanyang County when he first arrived, now that the eight counties are raising troops together, they still need a central center to coordinate.
At this moment, this center is located in Luoyang!
Xiong Yan and a large group of staff and administrative staff were in an inconspicuous valley fifty miles outside Luoyang City.
"On March 6, 191 AD, on the second anniversary of Advent, eight counties raised troops at the same time."
"On March 7, the thirty-six counties of Nanyang County were successfully occupied, and the county government Wancheng was also successfully occupied on the same day."
"Nanyang County has a population of 1.4 million under its jurisdiction this time. It dispatched 150,000 rural soldiers and 30,000 combat soldiers. 125 rural soldiers died and 655 were injured; 35 combat soldiers died and 35 were injured.
One hundred and eight..."
Rural soldiers refer to soldiers who have received a period of training, know basic military discipline, and master certain killing skills, but their personal strength has not yet exceeded the limits of the human body.
Such soldiers, if placed in the classical feudal era, would definitely be among the best soldiers in the world. They are all big and round, and they look very capable of fighting.
But in today's extraordinary world of the Three Kingdoms, if you have not achieved extraordinary things, then you are not even qualified to fight.
On the battlefield, such an army, if attacked by Taoist soldiers from the opposite side, will be defeated no matter how many lines of defense it is. It can only serve as a containment and test, and generally serves as cannon fodder.
This is because the Han Dynasty was too Martial and Virtuous, coupled with the rapid increase in productivity caused by the Adventer's cheating, this led to the current situation.
In fact, rural soldiers of this strength would still be an important force worth relying on ten years ago, but now, if you are not extraordinary, you would be embarrassed to say that you are an elite soldier.
After hearing the information from Nanyang County, Xiong Yan nodded affirmatively: "I understand."
Then, the staff began to read information from other counties.
"In Chenliu County, there was a lot of local resistance. Yu Jin happened to be resting in his hometown. After he got the news, he directly led the county soldiers to resist. He was no match for him and fled quickly. In order to prevent him from going to the county and affecting the overall situation, Chu Feng set off directly with the combatants.
Kill him by force."
Upon hearing this, Xiong Yan looked at the information specifically to express his understanding.
Although Yu Jin is also a hero of the Three Kingdoms and one of the five good generals, this is not the reason why the descendants should not attack him!
Xiong Yan said a long time ago: Never show mercy just because the other party is a celebrity from the Three Kingdoms.
"Okay, good job, informing all parties about this matter."
"Everything is going well in PY County. Like Nanyang County, there is less local resistance..."
"Taiyuan County, the Taiyuan Wang family put up a very fierce resistance. They first defended the county city, and then Taiyuan City was destroyed, and then they defended Wubao. At the same time, they sent their tribesmen to flee. At present, Wubao has been breached, and Wang Ling is fleeing...
"
"Since we are resolute in resisting, we must kill those who deserve to be killed and arrest those who deserve to be arrested. We must not only be benevolent, but also have thunderbolt methods! The common people are our friends, and these tycoons from aristocratic families who persist in resisting do not deserve sympathy."
"Shangjun has long been under our control and was nominally recovered by the imperial court. In fact, except for the county town, other cities are under our rule. But the population is small..."
"Ye Fan personally went to Yanmen County to convince Lu Bu. Lu Bu had already led the army to the outside of the Great Wall this morning to fight against the foreign races. When we raised the army, Lu Bu said that he didn't know anything..."
